Psalm 119:66

Many Christians complain that God doesn't speak to them when they're in need of guidance. For some reason they have forgotten the first and most basic way God leads His children—through His written Word!

As the psalmist said, "Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105). Whenever you see the scriptural phrase "This is the will of God," you know for sure that's His will. You also know that to disobey is to break His Word. Other clear indications of His leading are the precepts and principles in the Scripture.

The County of Grande Prairie’s dedicated snow removal crews have been putting over 30 specialized vehicles to use clearing snow and ice from more than 3,600 km of roads.  

When a large amount of snow has fallen, the crews’ priority is to ensure high volume roads and school zones are cleared first, with main roads in hamlets and residential subdivisions cleared within a 12-day cycle. Reasonable efforts will be made to clear gravel roads within a five-day cycle once 15 cm of snow has accumulated. 

On Monday, November 25, around 5:35pm, the Fort St John RCMP received a report of a 2-vehicle head-on collision with unknown injuries by Shepherds Inn on Highway 97.

Fort St John frontline officers, Fort St John Fire Service and BC Ambulance Service all attended.

One driver was declared deceased on scene. BC Ambulance Service transported the second driver to the Fort St John Hospital with injuries for treatment.

At approximately 5:00 PM on November 26th Grande Prairie Fire Department crews were called to reports of mobile home on fire in the Crystal Ridge neighbourhood. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered smoke and flames coming from the front of the home.

Firefighters knocked down the fire and immediately searched the home. One person was removed from the home and was transported by Alberta Health EMS to Grande Prairie Regional Hospital for treatment.

An investigation is under way to determine the cause of the fire and no further details are available.

The Center for Addiction and Mental Health says responders have fielded more than 300,000 calls and texts since the launch of the national 988 suicide helpline a year ago. 

Dr. Allison Crawford, the chief medical officer for the helpline, says people having suicidal thoughts or other mental health distress can get help 24 hours a day, seven days a week no matter where they live in Canada. 

She expects the volume of calls and texts will go up as more people become aware of the service.  

The federal government says it is not planning to intervene to resolve the labour dispute at Canada Post, even with less than a month to go before Christmas.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon said sending the matter to binding arbitration "is not in the cards," even though he invoked that authority only a few weeks ago to resolve the ports dispute and a few months ago to resolve the rail dispute.
